The Playing the Piano section (page 12) provides an overview of the instrument’s most commonly used functions, allowing the KDP110 digital piano to be enjoyed almost immediately after being connected, while the Internal Songs section (page 17) includes information regarding the built-in demonstration songs, Concert Magic songs, and Lesson function.
The Recorder section (page 27) provides instructions on how to record and play back pieces stored in the instrument’s internal memory, and the Settings section (page 29) details the settings that can be used to adjust a number of sound and keyboard characteristics, as well as basic MIDI functionality.
Finally, the Appendix section (page 40) includes listings for all demo, Concert Magic, and Lesson function songs, a troubleshooting guide, assembly instructions, MIDI reference information, and full specification details.
KDP110 Feature Highlights
Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) weighted-key keyboard action
The new Responsive Hammer Compact II (RHC II) action has been developed to reproduce the distinctive touch of an acoustic grand piano. The weight of the keyboard is appropriately graded to mirror the heavier bass and lighter treble hammers of acoustic pianos, with a smooth matte texture applied to each black and white key for enhanced playability. As with other Kawai digital piano keyboard actions, Responsive Hammer Compact II utilises triple sensor hammer velocity detection, and features a springless mechanism that delivers a smooth and natural piano playing experience.
Despite its lightweight, compact design, the RHC II action allows experienced pianists to perform with confidence, playing fortissimo with power and certainty, while delicately controlling the softest, most gentle pianissimo passages.
Harmonic Imaging™ (HI) sound technology, 88-key piano sampling
The KDP110 digital piano captures the beautiful sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed hand-built concert grand piano, with all 88 keys of this exceptional instrument meticulously recorded, analysed and faithfully reproduced using proprietary Harmonic Imaging™ technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the original grand piano, affording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the strongest, boldest fortissimo.
Additional reverberation effects that simulate the acoustic environment of a room, lounge, small hall, concert hall, live hall or cathedral are also applied, resulting in a rich, vibrant piano tone that delivers breathtaking realism and authenticity.
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the KDP110 digital piano also boasts integrated Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, KDP110 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related apps that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The KDP110 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and played back at the touch of a button.
In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes from Beyer, Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each
piece can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more difficult passages to be perfected.

As with a grand piano, the KDP110 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal Sustain pedal
Soft pedal (left pedal) |
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal) |
|
|
|
|
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume. |
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before |
|
|
|
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that |
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also |
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after |
|
used to alternate the speed of the rotary speaker simulation |
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained. |
|
between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes. |
|
Pedal support bolt
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor, the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt is fully extended and supports the pedals firmly.
When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.
Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.
Grand Feel pedal system
The KDP110 digital piano features the new Grand Feel pedal system, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of Kawai’s SK-EX Concert Grand piano.
